[Course of the early neonatal period and hormonal indicators in newborn infants from multiple pregnancies (twins)].
Overall 22 neonates born due to plural pregnancy (twins, gestation 38-40 weeks) were examined for the clinical characteristics of the early neonatal period. Blood samples were analyzed, measurements were made of blood serum cortisol, immunoreactive insulin (IRI) and somatotropic hormone (STH). The findings were correlated to those obtained in controls, namely in 57 healthy neonates born due to single pregnancy. Alterations in the IRI content in twins turned out similar to those obtained by the authors in neonates with intrauterine hypotrophy. Cortisol was discovered to fall within the first day of life. The mean STH in twin children was much lower. The data obtained enable the neonate twins to be classified with the group at risk for development of hormonal abnormalities during the neonatal period.
